Dr. Lajoie reviewed in complete detail my previous tests . She quickly understood my problems. She immediately devised a plan of action I agreed to and understood. She engendered confidence in her intelligence and experience to handle my problems. In addition she had a caring manner. She listened to my concerns and my research and incorporated them into her diagnosis and prognosis for care. Dr. Lajoie followed through within 24 hrs on all the tests and procedures I had and explained to me the findings. Within one week of meeting her, I had a new and comprehensive understanding of my condition. She made a plan for the future. In short, Dr. Lajoie is terrific.
